City Room makes note of the movie posters for The Dictator which uses a photo of the NYC skyline without 1 WTC in the background being built. The writer notes that this is somewhat like the case of when Zoolander featured images of the former WTC shot before the towers collapse but shown on screen after the events of 9/11. The difference here being that the movie poster doesn’t show a building that clearly would have been rising up during the time of filming.

Of course, this is all movie magic at the end of the day anyway, but it’s interesting that somebody noticed this slight discrepancy in the NYC skyline in the background of a movie poster.
